wa7nxi Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hello, name here is Mark, from NW Indiana. My son (11yrs old) and I love to prospect and metal detect together, he is my treasure hunting buddy. We primarily use the Minelab Equinox 800 and Safari, we do have a couple other "backup" detectors such as the Gold Bug Pro (the wife's) and a GTI1500. We are involved with a local detecting club, and we are GPAA members and pretty active with our local chapter for outings, etc. Looking forward to learning from the community here and reading about others neat finds etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 With those detectors and club memberships you are already starting on the right feet. Glad to see more Hoosiers join the ranks at DetectorProspector.com. You have a lot of historic sites up there to detect. Go get 'em! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa7nxi Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thank you GB_Amateur, we've been very fortunate to acquire several "permissions" from farmers on land where there used to be churches and schools (I study historic maps extensively to find them) and have done pretty good so far. Thanks again and take care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachHunter Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Welcome to the forum from SoCal. Your avatar takes me back to when I had a 1963 VW Bus that looked just like it. Best of luck! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa7nxi Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 BeachHunter, thanks and I like your avatar too! My avatar is our '64 microbus and during the summer I daily drive her. It actually makes for a good way to get permissions because people love to talk to me about it, which gets my "foot in the door" ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
